Knight of the Jolly Green Giant? Hmmm.......
Because there is no way that believing in a type of salad dressing would lead you where you need to be to fight.It could help you go defend the factory that produces it when it is under siege by all sorts of activists.
I will make a Champion of the FSM!
Personally, I'd say that there has to be true faith there and a power behind it to back it up. And not just a minor power, something on the high end of the scale.
For some reason, Beni comes to mind. Remember Beni from The Mummy, in the scene where he's trying to ward of Imhotep with a series of holy symbols? :)
Don't forget about sanya: his faith is in communism (or really some obscure branch of it). He's a knight of the cross. If he can be that, then certainly there can be a true believer of socrates's teachings, or maybe those of other plilosiphers
A person with True Faith in the philosophy of Nietzsche could be quite interesting.
Sure you can. It just involves playing a little fast and loose in the name of Fun.
Knowledge from Nowhere = Leap of Logic. Maybe bump your conviction so high that it warps reality a little bit to make sure you make the right call.
Power from Nowhere = Unconscious Wizardry (Harry drawing power from the area around him), Unknowing Use of Sponsored Magic (Higher power decides to root for the underdog with or without belief; Sanya and Harry both arguably qualify in their own ways), Absolute Cosmic Bugfrack Coincidence (Exactly what it says on the tin).
If you absolutely need to have White God/Whoever Else involved somehow to sleep at night, just make it a Sanya case where the believer doesn't necessarily believe in/accept the source of his/her power.
There are some religions and philosophies that state that everything is connected, if you go with a model like that then someone could have access to the True Faith powers by way of having a deeper connection to the collective conciousness.
are the faith powers internal or external?Yes. To me it's a combination of both. There must be an "external power source", such as the White God, or Magick itself. And there must be the strong conviction in that power to be able to influence the world.
True faith in Nietzsche-ian ideals. Just remember to take immunity to true faith powers [-3] because god is dead.This actually reminded me of Jessica Sorrow, the Unbeliever from the Nightside books. She endured a trauma so intense that, at some point, she literally stopped believing in the real world. So strong is this unbelief that it can pretty much delete people. And places. And things. She's basically a force of nature nowadays. Or unnature, depending on who you ask.

Would be interesting to have someone like that running around.
